Let's talk content. AMA.

I do not like the illegal part of the new rules. This is way to vague and I believe that the other rules would cover anything that an agency of the government could actually do anything to you about.

Someone asked about /r/trees but I dont feel that you gave a sufficient answer to it. Cannabis is illegal in a majority of the world and even in the US most places still treat it like you are a monster for using it or having it. Under your rules you should ban it.

Basically, having a rule that can be selectively enforced will lead eventually to community backlash and devalues all the rules of the site. That is exactly why cannabis law are silly. Everyone knows they are silly and having that silly laws devalues the good laws.

The US Code and the Code of Federal Regulations is very extensive, and the latter can change whenever a Federal Agency decides it needs to. I would be willing to bet that many things on this site could technically be viewed as violating parts of either of those sets of laws in some way or another. This is just assuming that you are going by US laws. Sodomy is illegal in places. Having pictures of it now violates the law and therefore violates your rule.

Yes this is a state level law, I am not aware of a Federal one, but still I hope you are starting to see my point. But on a more tenious topic like Hallucinogenics which should be legal but are not. Now any mention of a trip or wisdom divined from using those substances is now grounds for having a subreddit banned. That is the side that people would probably not care. Now how about MDMA that is helping people, and soldiers specifically, deal with PTSD? MDMA is illegal and using it and talking about it now breaks the illegal part of the new rules.

Do you see my point here yet?
